Winter watering ...

[zekii]

Need to devise a way to keep some of my waterers from freezing, otherwise I can buy a heated waterer ... but since there are such ingenious
folks here show me you setup for winter waterers !!!

Thanks ... the ZeK

I haven't done it yet, but so far, I really like the submersible aquarium heater in the chicken nipple water bucket. There's also the pond heater/trough heater but that's a lot bigger thing so it would depend on what your waterer is like.

I just posted this reply yesterday (?) to the post "SO I know many don't....."This is what I'm planning on using in my small, four chicken coop. Maybe it will do the trick for you.....?

Do your chickens free range any?

That's the same as I was going to suggest. A lamp inside a cinder block.​

Using the cement block with the terracota plant dish seems like a good idea, I'll probably give that
a try. Thanks for the idea !!!
